Carolina Henator Talks to . .Atlanta Newspaper Men on Poli tics and “Joe" Cannon.—Sajrs Democrats Played Game Poorly. His Klght with Wlljr Speaker. Sv • “The Democrats played thelr game pforly,” said Senator Benjamin R. v Tillman Thursday In the first In ti vview he has given since his 111- ii'’K8, according to the Atlanta Con- tit' tlon. He sat by an open window a Robertson’s Sanitarium, but the o' :.y evidence of his recent Illness was a slowness of enunciation and a s' vhtly enfeebled voice. THs mind was keenly active, and ^trifi-h interested in the recent “ernp- ti'.o,’’ as he called, it In Congress. “They played their game poorly/’ h' 1 repeated, “when they called fpr tT't vote tt> declare the Speaker’s choir vacant. It rallied the Reoub- li'ins. insurgents and all to Can- r< Vs support, for a Republican is fi:st, last and always a Republican, and a patriot—secondarily. "There was no need for that move,” the Senator continued. “Can non had been shorn of practically al! power when they took from him the privilege of naming the com mittee on rules; and if the Dem ocrats had let matters stand, he would have been politically lost. The result of the call for a vote restored, in a measure, his piesMge.” “You do not think that Cinnon will ever regain as much power ss he held formerly, do you?” "No,” the Senator replied, “never as much. A part of his powo- <* gone, but he hasn’t slipped far enough to break his neck.” “What do you think will be the eventual result?” was asked. "He will probably retire at the favorable opportunity,” said the Sen ator. “Will that not, practically, be an admittance of defeat?" “Well, in a measure,” the Senator replied, “but he is 74—” “Are you and he friendly?” the mrestion was put irrelevantly, but it brought a slight, humorous twinkle to the Senator’s eye. ’’Well, we are now, but I believe I am the only man that ever downel Cannon. "It was about getting the Gov ernment to pay an old debt to the State of South Carolina. First they tried to show that my State owed the Government, but I got the re cords for l>oth and In the end it was shown that the Government owed the State. I wanted them to pay the debt, but old Joe was opposed to it. "I got Allison and Hale, two of my personal friends and leaders pn the Republican side, to Insert my claim for South Carolina In a civil bill that came up for conference ad justment on the 3d of March, the Iasi day before final adjournment. "Cannon said that It shouldn’t go through; and I swore be d—d that it should go through. Some of my friends said that they would help me to filibuster in the session which met at S o'clock, and they kept the House busy; so 1 sent out and got Byron’s Vision of Judgement.' "Have you read it?" he interject ed. "Well it Is one of the keenest of Byron's satires, and some people think that it is blasphemy, but I have always thought it a good piece of work. I was going to read them that. "But seeing that if the civil bill was not passed an extra seaaion of Congress would have to be called to consider the naval and civil blHa, the opposition gave in and I got the bill pased. "It took Cannon a long time to< get over that,” interposed Mrs. Till man, a quiet, knowing little woman, th^ Senator smiled pleasantly. “Do you think Cannon will be re turned to Congresa?” was the next question. “He will, if he wanta to be. His people like him—probably because he gets things for them. ~ “That's the reason Atlanta hugs old Lon Livingston so closely, be cause he got the United States pen itentiary for it, and I do not know how many other things. Atlanta had a ’sweet tooth.’ ” “The Cannon fight was (he first _thing jhat really Interested my hus band since Tillman. ~ “Just six weeks ago, do you remember?’*-she said, turning to her husband, "you became 111, and now you are getting well ao quickly. So much more rapidly than any of us dared to hope.” Mrs. Tillman had taken part in all the conversation and ahbwed auch thorough knowledge of the political situation that the reporter aaid, laughingly,’aa the Senator and Mrs. Tillman started oat for their usual afternoon walk. “Mrs. Tillman knows almost ss much shout politics ss yon do.

SHELL KILLS EIGHT TURN OF TIDE She May Seek Divorce on Ground of Incompetoacy as Hnshand Is la Charge of a Trustee. (One day of bliss was all that Wil liam D. Ashley, formerly of New York city, was allowed to enjoy with his bride, Mrs. Bessie- Carye, a wM- ow^ of Amsterdam, N. Y. They were married last week in Jersey City and Ashley created such a rumpus after the wedding that his bride had to take three bottles of whiskey from him. The groom is past 76 years of age and his bride has passed 56. Then years ago Ashley was ad judged incompetent to manage his es tate of $80,000, Inherited from a relative. After a time he was com mitted to Blackwells Island but be got out and sold a mortgage of $3,- 000 on hla farm. For some time he has been corres ponding with the woman at Amster dam, she not knowing that he was in charge of a trustee. With his $3,- 000 they left his home In Newburg, N. J., and went to Jersey City, where the ceremony was performed. The next morning Mrs. Ashley left for home, declaring that she realised a mistake had been made and she would seek divorce. Ashley did not appear a bit sorry as he accompanied his bride to the railroad station. Later he called upon a lawyer and accused the woman of desertion. It Is probable the marriage will be an nulled because the man had been de clared Incompetent and could not 'in ter upon any contract or agreement that would stand upder the law. HELD IN AN OLD MILL. • ♦T, as h« walked slowly toward the a. " door Young Pennsylvanian Tells Weird • Kidnapping Tale. A strange tale of being kidnapped and held prisoner in an old, aban doned mill Is told by Harry Bushy, aged 22 years, of York. Ps. He re turned to his home, last week after being absent for over three months Young Bushy disappeared myster iously. He says he was struck in the head and rendered unconscious when he went to his father's barn one night to investigate a peculiar noise. He was then taken to an old mill, so his story goes, and there locked up and fed on bread and water. I^ast week, he asserts, he was drugged and later found him self, without coat or hat, lying on the ground near his father’s barn. fiusby can give no * information that will lead to the location of the building. There Is no mill In the vicinity of his home where he could have been imprisoned. The youth's father is wealthy and it is now be lieved that the kidnappers inteded to hold him for ransom, but were afraid to make this move. Bushy's home Is near Dillsburg. in the north ern part of the county, not far from the South mountains, and it is be lieved that he was hidden away in a secluded part of the hills. WIDOW READ SHE WAS TO MAR* RY A VERY RICH MAN. He Was a Nobleman and Worth 990,000,000; Now She is Wiser, the Knowledge Costing 98,000. In the bustling German city of Hanover lives Frau Stler, who be came lonely after she had lost her husband, so lonely tbirihe decided to mend her heart with another. With that view she consulted Frau Nixdorf, who advertised to straighten out life’s tangles by card reading. All the card* ran the Widow Btter’e way and she was told that the was to marry a wealthy nobleman, Cham berlain von Buelow, who was worth $20,000,000, and would forever live happily. In a few days Frau Stier’s phone summoned her to a love avowal, the voice at the other end of the wire professing to be that of Chamber- lain, who said that one glance of her on the street had so excited his emotions that he could no longer re strain himself from declaring his undying love for her. He begged her to give him hope. Them and there the accepted him. Another telephone call, a few days later, purporting to be from Chamberlain, gravely Informed her that he had discovered that she was a woman of lowly birth, and that it would be necessary for her to be ennobled before he could wed her. This could be accomplished, he said, by a deposit of about $3,000 In a Hanover bank, believing In the cards, tds widow deposited the money. Then came the awakening. Frau Stler accused Von Buelow of the crime, but he had no trouble clearing himself and showing that he had alxmlutely no knowledge of her love affairs. Then her lawyers turned to Frau Nixdorf. That proceeding brought to light a Journeyman shoe maker as the sender of the telephone messages, and the law soon made short work of both him and the soothsayer. OrmcrMi Will Sm« py . Rehsia WOODROW WILSON LITLK BOY KILLED. SENATOR TILLMAN IMPROVING. He Is Becoming interested in Poli tics Once More. A dispatch from Atlanta says as evidence that Senator Tillman is re gaining his faculties, he discussed politics for an hour Thursday, at the sanitarium where he has been a pa tient, since coming from his home In Trenton, S. C. His theme was the recent “eruption,” as he termed it, In the House. "The Democrats play ed their game poorly,” said the Sen ator, "when they called for that vote to declare the Speaker's Chair va cant. Cannon had been shorn of practi cally all power when the took tom him the privilege of naming the committee on rules, and if the Dcm- acrats had let matters stand, he would have been politically lost.

The President of Princeton College Predicts that the People in their Dlstreas Are Turning to the Dene ocratfi for Relief.—He Telia How the Country Will Be Benefited. That the political tide la now turning Democratic, and Ihe day when the Democratic party must take charge of this country’s affairs, Is almost at hand, were declarations made by Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton university, in a speech at the Democratic dinner In Eliza beth, N J., recently. Mr. Wilson out lined the character of legislation which the Democratic should give the counter to meet the present economic problems. In this connec tion he said: "In the first place we should wish not merely to curb the trusts, and above all, we should not wish to regulate them In such a way as will make them either partners or crea tures of the government itself, we should wish to square their whole action and responsibility with the general interest regarding them, not as objects In themselves, but mere- Hy as conveniences in our economic life and development. Recent pro posals or regulation have looked too much like a wholesale Invasion by government itself of the field of bus iness management “Our regulations of public Inter est must be legal regulation and not direct management. "In the second place, it Is clearly our duty to take the government out of the business of patronage, the business of granting favors and priv ileges, of arranging the laws so that this, that, or the other group of men may make large profits out of their business and draw it back to the function of safeguarding rights general, not particular right; the rights which make not so much for the prosperity, which enables small groups of individual to pile up enor mous fortunes, as for a general stim ulation, a universal opportnnlty for enlightenment and Justice. I am thinking of course, of tariff legis lation. Whatever may be our views with regard to the policy vagely called the policy of protection, it Is clear that in fact It has long since, as dealt with by congress, ceased to be a policy of protection, and become a policy of patronage. "We are told that the present ex traordinary high price of commod ities is due, not to the tariff bbt to the fact that we are not pro ducing enough to keep up with the daily demand, and that Is particu larly true with regards to things we eat and have dally need. Take meat for example and see what the truth Is. The truth Is that the meat trust has been aible to con trol the meat market to such an extent that scores of ranchmen have been driven out of the cattle raising business because it was unprofitable. The short supply of meat is due to the monopoly created by the meat trust, ft is therefore true that the supply is short compared with the vast dimand, but it has been made short by the operation of a trust unquestionably fostered by the legis lation of the government. "In the third place It is one of the chief duties of the Democratic party to introduce such reforms in local and federal governments as will secure economy, responsibility, honesty, fidelity. "In brief our program should be a general revival of popular politics, of common counsel, of responsible leadership. We must supply efficient leaders, and eschew all the lower personal objects of politics. It is a case of must as well as a case of may a case of necessity as well as a case of privilege. A new day has come. Men and measures are be ing scrutinized as never before. For myself I veritably believe we are upon the eve of a new era of political liberty, when more literally and tru ly than ever we can realize the Ideals of popular government and of in dividual privilege.” FATAL EXPLOSION OCCURS ON THE CHARLESTON. United States Cruiser Was Holding Target I*rartice Off Olougapo ig Phiilippiae Waters. The premature explosion of a 3- Inch-gun on the United StaUi erals- er Charleston killed eight men and injured aeveral other this week while the ship waa In target practice off Olongapo in the Philllppine Islands.
